Chapter 37 You Must Protect Me
"You ask." Wang's tone was bad.
Pei Jingzhou asked, "Why did the mother enter her son's bedroom without his consent?"
Wang said as a matter of course: "Mother is also concerned about your injury."
"It seems that the servants have neglected their duties." Pei Jingzhou's face darkened and he asked in a cold voice, "Who is on duty today?"
"Second Master, it's me." Yingge stepped forward.
Pei Jingzhou didn't even look at her: "From now on, you don't have to serve me."
Yingge was Pei Jingzhou's maid and had served him for many years.
Everyone thought that she would become Pei Jingzhou's concubine or maid in the future.
She thinks so too.
But the days passed.
Pei Jingzhou had no such intention at all.
Jiang Zhaoyue, who married into the family, didn't have this intention either.
She was a little anxious and tried to please Wang again and again. Today, when she saw Wang about to enter Pei Jingzhou's bedroom, she not only had no intention of stopping her, but also hoped that Wang would see Jiang Zhaoyue's unruly behavior and come up with the idea of taking a concubine for Pei Jingzhou.
Then, she has a chance.
Unexpectedly, Pei Jingzhou had no feelings for her and punished her directly.
Pei Siyan was greatly surprised.
Pei Siya was afraid of Pei Jingzhou, and her heart trembled when she saw him punishing Yingge mercilessly.
Pei Sijing was surprised.
Jiang Zhaoyue raised his eyebrows slightly.
Wang Shi could see that Pei Jingzhou was not only punishing Yingge, but was also dissatisfied with her behavior. Her face turned unhappy and she asked directly, "Jingzhou, is this a punishment for a servant?"
"Yes, mother." Pei Jingzhou remained respectful.
"I thought you were punishing your mother." Wang said sarcastically.
Pei Jingzhou said: "My son doesn't dare."
Wang was furious: "For your wife, I think you dare to do anything."
Pei Jingzhou did not back down and said, "Mother, if Zhaoyue says or does something wrong, you are free to punish her. I will never stop her."
Wang asked, "Isn't she wrong?"
Pei Jingzhou asked in return: "Where did she go wrong?"
"She used to—"
"Mother." Pei Jingzhou interrupted Wang and said, "Mother, who is without fault?"
Wang was choked.
Pei Jingzhou continued, "I don't know what she was like before, but I know that after she married into the Zhenguo Mansion, her behavior may seem strange, but it is all within the rules of etiquette."
Behaving strangely?
You're the one behaving strangely!
Your whole family is behaving strangely!
Can you use words?!
Jiang Zhaoyue was originally moved by Pei Jingzhou's protection, but when she suddenly heard him say that her behavior was strange, she was no longer moved.
Wang said disdainfully, "She's pressing half of her body on you. Is that within etiquette?"
Pei Jingzhou looked at Wang and said, "Mother, there are thousands of couples in the world. Some are like enemies, some are like strangers, and some support each other... How can I not get along with her in any way I want, without regrets to heaven and earth and without interfering with others? How can this not be within the bounds of etiquette?"
Wang was very unhappy when she heard this.
Pei Jingzhou continued, "It was the mother who ignored her son's privacy and walked in, which seemed unbecoming of the mistress of the Zhenguogong Mansion."
Wang stood up immediately after hearing this: "Jingzhou, I am your mother!"
Pei Jingzhou stood up and said, "If a mother doesn't respect her child's privacy, why should she ask others to respect it?"
Wang trembled with anger when she heard this.
Pei Jingzhou was not polite: "Mother should still abide by the rules in the future."
Wang pointed at Pei Jingzhou and said, "Pei Jingzhou, you've changed since you got married!"
"Mother, I have always been like this." Pei Jingzhou called out, "Madam Sun."
"Yes." Nanny Sun responded.
Pei Jingzhou ordered: "Mother is a little tired, send her back and have a good rest."
Nanny Sun was stunned for a moment, but she finally walked up to Wang and said, "Madam, please."
Wang wanted to say something but couldn't. She angrily threw her sleeves and walked out.
Pei Siyan glared at Jiang Zhaoyue fiercely and chased after him.
Pei Siya and Pei Sijing looked at Pei Sizhou worriedly, then looked at Jiang Zhaoyue.
Jiang Zhaoyue smiled silently and comforted the two of them.
Pei Siya and the other girl decided to visit their second sister-in-law next time and left the main house.
"Second Master." Yingge knelt down with a plop and immediately burst into tears.
Pei Jingzhou asked expressionlessly, "When did you join Madam?"
Yingge had been doing it very secretly, but she didn't expect that the Second Master knew about it. She immediately forgot to cry.
Nanny Sun came back at this time.
"Madam Sun, Yingge is not young anymore, arrange for her to leave the house." Pei Jingzhou said.
"Second Master, Second Master, I know I was wrong. I know I was wrong. I don't want to leave the house. I want to continue serving you. Please forgive me this time." Yingge cried bitterly.
Pei Jingzhou remained indifferent.
Nanny Sun pulled the crying Yingge away.
Pei Jingzhou picked up the tea bowl and took a sip. He turned his head to look at Jiang Zhaoyue who had been staring at him and asked, "What do you want to say?"
"Did Yingge tell mother everything that happened in Linhuayuan?" Jiang Zhaoyue asked.
Pei Jingzhou nodded: "Yeah."
"How do you know?"
"I learned it from my mother's words." Pei Jingzhou has had his own ideas since he was a child. He doesn't like others to interfere too much in his affairs, and this is even more so after he turned ten.
He expressed his thoughts to Wang more than once.
But Yingge took the initiative to tell her about the affairs of Linhuayuan. Instead of punishing Yingge, she interfered in the affairs of Linhuayuan again and again.
He was really angry because I broke into his bedroom today.
"Second Master is really smart." Jiang Zhaoyue praised him indifferently, then said: "But..."
Pei Jingzhou asked, "But what?"
"Isn't this a bit unfilial of you?" Filial piety was the most important thing in ancient times.
"Is this filial piety, obeying her in everything, watching her make mistakes, and following her into her mistakes?"
"No, no, no." Jiang Zhaoyue didn't expect Pei Jingzhou to be so flexible, but she was still worried: "But you offended your mother today. She won't really blame you, but she will torture me."
Pei Jingzhou asked: "Are you blaming me for not handling things properly?"
"A little bit." Jiang Zhaoyue told the truth.
He dares to say anything!
Pei Jingzhou put down his tea bowl, raised his eyelids, looked at Jiang Zhaoyue and asked, "So, as a son, you say a lot of soft words and harsh words, which are useless. What should you do?"
Jiang Zhaoyue asked cautiously, "Have you done this in private?"
"Yeah." Pei Jingzhou could see that his mother didn't like Jiang Zhaoyue, but he didn't want the two of them to be at odds, so he talked to his mother many times.
My mother always agreed very well, but she always found fault with Jiang Zhaoyue.
This time, he even reached into his bedroom.
He must make his attitude clear, otherwise his mother will become more demanding, and he and Jiang Zhaoyue might repeat the tragedy of his elder brother and sister-in-law.
"Second Master." Jiang Zhaoyue suddenly called out.
Pei Jingzhou asked: "What for?"
"I'm a little touched." Jiang Zhaoyue said.
Pei Jingzhou snorted and laughed: "I didn't see that."
Jiang Zhaoyue patted his right chest and said, "I am touched in my heart, but of course you can't see it."
"The heart is on the left." Pei Jingzhou reminded.
Jiang Zhaoyue patted his left chest and said, "I'm touched."
Pei Jingzhou didn't argue with her and asked, "Aren't you afraid that your mother will torture you?"
"I'm scared." Jiang Zhaoyue suddenly leaned forward, holding Pei Jingzhou's big hands tightly with both hands, and said sincerely: "Second Master, you have to protect me!"
